AuthorTopic: Robot themed comic (Read 1027 times)

I would just like to thank all who voted and commented in my poll it was very enlightening as to what people had to say. Thanks everyone, stay well.

Update: Clarification of sortsWhat I am suggesting is something Jeph might consider doing like he did with Alice Grove but this comic would exist within the QC universe but be aimed more with the AI situations that Jeph is bringing to forefront. Example AI rights and privileges and how they react around each other and humans. Also the human side of living with AI's. Its an interesting concept that has grown a life of its own in QC and I thought perhaps it deserves its own outlet. (Hope that helps define things more.)

Since as of late the focus of QC has be AI robots perhaps a comic just about them is in order? Please vote and lets see if that is perhaps true.

Nah, an interaction between the humans and AI is interesting and a purely AI themed comic would lose that. QC has always changed the focus occasionally; it'll be back to others eventually, though some no-bots are involved with the AIs anyway

Freefall is largely about AIs, both as robots and bio-engineered animals (a wolf being one of the main characters).

Jeph tried concurrently writing another comic. It didn't end all that well. Where he wants to pour out his creative juices is strictly his business. Jeph "should" begin another strip only if he damned well wants to and thinks it won't detract from his main investment, QC.

Yes, I agree. I've been watching Wellington Paranormal, which really works in its own right.

I just can't get excited at the prospect of a spin-off unless I can be convinced that it will indeed stand on its own merits. And the thing about demanding requesting a spin-off (as the OP has done here) is that creating a spin-off because fans demanded it in response does not qualify in that regard.

QC is an almost completely different comic than it once was, which really makes me wonder why* it never just ended at a certain point and freed up time and energy for Jeph to write something on his current interests. Because the lives of most of his long-running human characters is very obviously not filed under that.

* Not actually, it's obviously because of how much revenue QC generates and how stopping it to do something else would be a gamble. Which I respect, you gotta do what you gotta do to keep food on the table, but... eh.

QC isn't the first comic or other pop culture creation to change over time. That isn't even rare.I see no reason for the artist to be obligated to scrap a property and start another because the subject matter changes. Corollary to that, of course, is there's no obligation on the part of anyone to read anything.
